I've recently started trying to learn Kanji using RtK. Well, currently I only have the free downloadable PDF with only a couple hundred. Anyway, I've tried...
I've been thinking lately - does it matter exactly how the kanji look? I mean, is it like English where everyone has their own slight "variation"? Obviously I...
Some other kanji I forgot about that I've been wondering about. Mouth (and the shape used in other kanji) - sometimes he draws the sides vertically, sometimes...
When you're writing with a pencil/pen a lot of these little things are impossible and just don't get written. See if you can find a Japanese person's...
For drop of it's impossible to vary width of your pen/pencil, so it doesn't matter unless you use a brush/brush pen. I'm not sure what you're talking about on...
If you haven't already, check out http://kanji.koohii.com Their forum answers a lot of questions you might have, and the srs on the webpage is great. Each...
... ... Shape isn't entirely important but stroke order is very important. There are lots of different scripts out there. At first, you should probably keep...
... I recommend using a SRS. I like Anki very much, but I think the intervals vary too much at the beginning. If you answer a 3 it will repeat after 12-24h,...
Thanks both of you. ... on the ... Nice, thanks ... OK, thanks. It probably is in the PDF, I just missed it. In Mnemosyne I tried Kanji -> English, and it...
... Yes, forgot that. Writing the kanji while reviewing is very important. I see the keyword, write down the kanji (or, if I don't have pencil and paper ready,...
Thanks all for the replies. ... make ... month ... Hmm OK. This is getting more confusing haha! ... Earlier I looked up stroke order on Wikipedia and it had...
... I only used the unicode to get you there. Unfortunately the dictionary doesn't allow you to input Heisig index for lookup. You can look up the kanji on...
No, just the keyword and kanji. I believe there are people who include the primitive elements or even the whole story in the cards too, but I prefer not too. ...
www.kanji.koohii.com 's study section has every character searchable by number or keyword. From there you can copy/paste it. I thought there was a file in this...
... What I did was go a lesson chapter at a time. I would read through the whole lesson, and then drill through the characters in that lesson. Usually I...
Beyond stroke order/direction, the only thing that you need to worry about in terms of appearance is whether the stroke ends with a hook (as in the right side...
In many books, the representation of kanji is their appearance when written with a brush. If you are just writing the kanji for one with a pen or pencil, a...
... I have noticed that quite a lot actually. Originally I was getting most wrong, then suddenly realised. Some are quite difficult though, e.g. chant....
OK, another question, concerning stroke order. With "animal legs", where do you start on each leg? My guess is always from the left, meaning the "blot" at the...
Gah, this is driving me mad!! I've been trying to cover Lesson 4, and I've only covered about half in 40 minutes! The main problem is trying to get the damn...
Oh, I forgot to mention. The "half in 40 minutes" involved reading story, writing out ~4 times, then putting into Anki. As in, no Anki learning so far. And...

Hi, I just wanted to add a couple of comments to this thread. I just finished Book one and initially I did it all with written cards. I use Anki for my reveiws...
... Sorry, I don't see the problem. For each character, Heisig shows you how it's drawn by hand. The printed version is stylised to a greater degree, depending...
